After a short interrogation on her secret to a long healthy life, which she said was due to her great family, Irene was over the moon to see so many people turn up to her very special birthday. Irene received letters from The Queen, The Governor General and many many cards and presents from family, friends and the staff at Magnolia Cottage.
